7-Year-Old Girl Dies One Week After Manassas Car Crash: Police

MANASSAS, VA — A 7-year-old girl from Manassas died this week, several days after she was seriously injured in a car crash at the intersection of Hoadly Road and Galveston Court, according to the Prince William County Police Department.

The crash occurred on Tuesday, Oct. 12 around 8 a.m., police said. A 2003 Toyota Camry with three children in its backseat was travelling northbound on Hoadly Road. The driver of the Camry, a 29-year-old woman, attempted to make the left turn onto Galveston Court while the traffic light was yellow, according to a police report.

At the same time, a 2005 Subaru Forester was travelling southbound on Hoadly Road. The Subaru also had a yellow light as they crossed the intersection, police said. Authorities said the two vehicles "crossed paths," in the intersection.

The driver of the Subaru Forester was not injured in the crash. The occupants of the Toyota Camry, an adult woman and three children, were all taken to the hospital to receive treatment for injuries. The driver of the Camry, a 6-year-old passenger, and a 2-year-old passenger suffered minor injures, police said.

A 7-year-old passenger, who was seated in a booster seat between the other two children in the Camry, was seriously injured. On Thursday, investigators learned that she had died from her injuries.

The identity of the deceased girl is not being released by the police department due to a Virginia law designed to protect the identities of children.

"After consultation with the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, no charges will be sought in this crash," the police department said in their report on Thursday.
